[SOLVED]APC Back-UPS BX 2200VA connected via USB to ubuntu machine running HA. Any way to interface with it?

Configuration

Gosh, I restarted HA, started again and it’s up!
Great thread. Got me over the line!

Thank you so much!

yeah HA sometimes refuses to download stuff :slight_smile:
well done!

I believe you need another docker container with NUT with your battery backup connected. You will then use the ip& port of that docker container to set it up in HA.

Thanks after struggling with this. This was the one thing I over looked.

If it helps anyone:
In add-ons: Install Network UPS Tools
Configuration below:

devices:
  - name: apcups
    driver: usbhid-ups
    port: auto
    config:
      - vendorid = 051d
mode: netserver
shutdown_host: 'false'
users:
  - actions: []
    instcmds:
      - all
    password: pasword
    username: apc

Put port 3493 under network

then in Devices & Services install NUT

Hi!
I’ve been able to install APC BR900G-GR Back-UPS PRO and get sensors such us battery charge, load or status, but all diagnostic sensors were unavailable until I went to “Entities” and manually enabled all of them.
Just in case this helps anyone.
